Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
Bayan an haifi Yesu a Betlehem, a Yahudiya, a zamanin Sarki Hiridus, sai waɗansu Masana, daga gabas suka zo Urushalima
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
suka yi tambaya suka ce, “Ina shi wanda aka haifa sarkin Yahudawa? Gama mun ga tauraronsa a gabas mun kuwa zo ne domin mu yi masa sujada.”
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Da Sarki Hiridus ya ji wannan, sai hankalinsa ya tashi haka ma na dukan Urushalima.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Bayan ya kira dukan manyan firistoci da malaman dokoki na mutane wuri ɗaya, sai ya tambaye su inda za a haifi Kiristi.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Suka amsa suka ce, “A Betlehem ne, cikin Yahudiya, gama haka annabin ya rubuta.
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
“‘Amma ke Betlehem, a cikin ƙasar Yahuda, ba ke ce mafi ƙanƙanta a cikin masu mulki a Yahuda ba, gama daga cikinki mai mulki zai zo, wanda zai zama makiyayin mutanena Isra’ila.’”
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Sai Hiridus ya kira Masanan nan a ɓoye, yă gano daga wurinsu daidai lokacin da tauraron ya bayyana.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
Sai ya aike su Betlehem ya ce, “Ku je ku binciko a hankali game da yaron nan. Da kun same shi, sai ku kawo mini labari nan da nan, domin ni ma in je in yi masa sujada.”
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
Bayan sun saurari sarki, sai suka kama hanyarsu, tauraron da suka gani a gabas kuwa yana tafe a gabansu, sai da ya kai inda yaron yake.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Da suka ga tauraron, sai suka yi farin ciki ƙwarai.
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Suka shiga gidan, suka kuwa ga yaron tare da mahaifiyarsa Maryamu. Suka durƙusa har ƙasa, suka yi masa sujada. Sa’an nan suka kunce dukiyarsu, suka miƙa masa kyautai na zinariya da na turare da na mur.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Bayan an gargaɗe su cikin mafarki kada su koma wurin Hiridus, sai suka koma ƙasarsu ta wata hanya dabam.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
Bayan sun tafi, sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Yusuf a mafarki ya ce, “Tashi, ka ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa, ku gudu zuwa Masar. Ku zauna a can sai na gaya muku, gama Hiridus zai nemi yaron don yă kashe.”
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Sai Yusuf ya tashi, ya ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa da dad dare suka tafi Masar,
15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
inda ya zauna har sai da Hiridus ya mutu. Ta haka kuwa aka cika abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa ta bakin annabin cewa, “Daga Masar na kira ɗana.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.
Da Hiridus ya gane cewa Masanan nan sun yi masa wayo, sai ya husata ƙwarai, ya yi umarni cewa a karkashe dukan’yan yara maza da suke a Betlehem da kewayenta, daga masu shekara biyu zuwa ƙasa, bisa ga lokacin da ya sami labarin daga Masanan nan.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Sai abin da aka faɗa ta bakin annabi Irmiya ya cika, cewa,
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she would not be comforted, because they are no more.”
“An ji murya a Rama, tana kuka da makoki mai tsanani, Rahila ce take kuka domin’ya’yanta, an kāsa ta’azantar da ita, don ba su.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Bayan Hiridus ya mutu, sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Yusuf a mafarki a Masar,
20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
ya ce, “Tashi, ka ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa ku tafi ƙasar Isra’ila, domin waɗanda suke neman ran yaron sun mutu.”
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Sai ya tashi, ya ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa suka tafi ƙasar Isra’ila.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
Amma da ya ji Arkelawus ne yake mulki a Yahudiya a matsayin wanda ya gāji mahaifinsa Hiridus, sai ya ji tsoron zuwa can. Bayan an gargaɗe shi a mafarki, sai ya ratse zuwa gundumar Galili,
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.
ya je ya zauna a wani garin da ake kira Nazaret. Ta haka aka cika abin da aka faɗa ta bakin annabawa cewa, “Za a ce da shi Banazare.”
